Hey guys,
Thought we should start a wallpaper thread for the Nook... I just posted 413 of them to my Photobucket account...
http://s204.photobucket.com/albums/bb86/911jason/Tablet Wallpaper/?start=all
I recommend Wallpaper Set & Save to improve image quality on all of your Android Wallpapers, it's free!
For anyone wanting to create their own, the size should be 1200x1024.
I recommend World Tour. It doesn't have the sharpest images, but it's pulling pictures from live webcams around the world. I just set it to random and automatic update once an hour. It scales the images properly for the Nook. I've been using it on my G1 practically since I got the phone.

I use app called Backgrounds, takes photos from flickr and the aspect ratio / scaling seems ok.
I like the HD Rare Black Wallpapers. They show up sharper than most of the other "HD" background/wallpaper apps.
Good stuff. Might want to mention the image requirements. I believe they should be 1200 x 1024.
Nice collection.

Good point, I'll update the initial post.
I'm using this one right now, and it looks killer on the Nook's screen!
(Edited: Went back and used clickable thumbs. Original posted images were kinda big. =P )
This is my current WP.
but these 2 are my most used WPs
SOLVED
Jason, Thanks so much for those beautiful photos you placed in your Photo Bucket for use on our NCs. I wonder if you can figure something out for me. Last week I downloaded about 14 of those photos to my pc and one way or another they made it to my NC. The neat things was, that they showed up in my Wallpaper as well as my photo gallery. Because they were in the wallpaper settings, I didn't have to do anything to them at all to get them on my home screen. They were perfect, full picture, wonderful resolution, and worked on the three home screen setting. I have no idea how I got them into that wallpaper section, darn it!
Since that time, my NC has gone through many restore-to-stock and nooters, etc. Now I'm back to 1.1 and auto-nooter v3. Everything is working well, but I can no longer find your pictures in the wallpaper section, only in the Picture gallery. The ones in the picture gallery are not the correct size and no matter what I do, I can't get them to work for me (I'm not very knowledgeable about Android, as you can probably tell.) Last week, when they were sitting in the wallpaper section, the pre-installed pictures from the Nook Color and even pictures of some of my book covers were also there. Do you have any idea how I might be able to get your pictures back into the wallpaper section? BTW - at the time they were working so beautifully, I was in 1.0.1 auto-nootered. Sorry for the long message, but I'm not having any success. I want them just the way they were last week! They were perfect!
TIA
Sue
nm - I figured out how to get them to my wallpaper. Thanks again,
Sue
So I used the Photobucket app and went into settings, checked hi res download option. Changed search to people in the dropdown. Searched for 911jason. Clicked a wallpaper, open menu click download, when it fails I selected set as wallpaper. Looks perfect on rooted 1.1 stock. Thanks!

Sue (or anyone else for that matter) can you elaborate on what you did to get an image to show up in the wallpapers section? I have a few backgrounds that I bounce in between frequently and would be grateful for a tip!

Let's see if I can this right.
I downloaded the images I wanted from 911Jason's Photobucket and put them on my pc. Then connected my NC using the USB cable. I then navigated to the NC <MyNookColor> and then to <MyFiles> and then to <Wallpapers>. I did a drag and drop of the pictures I wanted into the Wallpapers Folder. FWIW - I first tried using "send to" from drop down menu and it didn't take. The drag and drop worked fine. (911Jason's pictures were perfect for me because they are the correct size and I don't know how to use the Wallpaper apps yet.)
Hope this helps.
Sue
Thanks, I'll try that out!
A good place to go scouting for wallpapers is hdrwallpapers.com. Here's my current NC background:
http://www.hdrwallpapers.com/the_tornado-wallpapers.html

Another good place to go for wallpapers is deviantart.com and search for the resolution you want (1200x1024). A ton of the wallpaper apps rip their images from this site.
I'm not sure I'm having the same problem as others, with the wallpaper. Maybe I am. But my wallpaper shows up very large. The actual size is 700 x 1000, when I check it in Photoshop. I received it as part of a skin from DecalGirl. I would think, given the size requirement of 600 x 1024 (for one screen), this would be pretty close to perfect. But whenever I set wallpaper, the image gets blown up. I've tried using a picture of my daughter (which is 2400 x 3000), and it gets blown up, too. Her face is huge.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Help?
Okay, just tried using Wallpaper Set & Save, as I've seen others suggest, and that changed nothing. It's still really huge.

Dude, oh my goodness!! These are the kind of wallpapers I have been looking everywhere for my Hero. These looks awesome on the nook. Gonna post a screenie in the other thread asap.
WallpaperCASA is an awesome app that has a big selection and is setup really well. I use this now for the nook and it works superbly.
OK, so I was looking around for some good wallpapers, and I found some. These are probably the best wallpapers I have seen in a good long time. There is an endless list of wallpapers on this site! I know I says iPad 3, just ignore that and select the size you want, as there are many!
http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/downloads/rating/apple/ipad_3/
Just select the resolution (480x800), which is the very last one, and click download! Then transfer them to your phone and voila! You have beautiful wallpapers! Press thanks if you used these wallpapers! I am using them right now on my phone, and they look awesome. Hope this helps some people in need of a good awakening at some natural beauty
It's going to be fun finding good (appropriately sized) photos as wallpapers for this device!
Haha I have a Rezound and it's hard enough finding wallpapers for it, but now we have to find images 1920 pixels tall!!
unless you find some lovely images 1920x1080 that you can flip sideways, that doesn't always work xD
My favorite wallpaper website is Wallbase.cc ... anyone know any sites for really BIG wallpapers ?

Thx for the site. My favorite is interfacelift dot com. They have 'android' selections, but it might be a while before they support the res we need.

I'm a themer over on Rootz, so as far as 'making' wallpapers, sure I can do that. But as for wallpapers, try finding 2560x1600 or greater wallpapers, so that way there isn't much stretching done vertically.
You should look at desktop wallpaper instead, which has at least 1080p resolution. You won't find many phone wallpapers with apps like Zedge that look good on this device.

Haha, well that's what I get for not reading your post fully.
My plan is to just turn some desktop wallpapers vertically. I like to make my own too, so yeah... 1080p is a nice size. I've already got folders full of images to use.
Hey, guys!
Let me introduce myself. I'm a founder of Hamster Beat team, which is focused on personalization apps development for Android. Most of our apps are live wallpapers, but unlike other live wallpapers, we are trying to implement only the most original ideas and not cloning existing apps like many others.
We're looking for promotions partners in US, Europe and all the world. Cross-promotion is also very interesting for us
So, if you have any idea we can work together in any way, you're welcome to contact me here on xda.
And here is some info about our work.
We started to work together with my friend on May 2012. Our first work was Metaballs Liquid HD. The idea come from PC machine graphics, and it was really hard to get it work on smartphones because of a complex computations. But we did it, spent a couple of month for coding and optimization research. The fate was not on our side, and application got banned on Play Store after a while due to sexual content violation, although there were completely no such a content inside the app. The discussion with Google Support team did not help, so we had to republish it with a higher maturity rating.
Here is how this app looks right now:
Then, we thought we can create an app that would be useful for those people who do not actually use live wallpapers. We started to work on a completely free app called Panoramic Screen which turns any regular 2D image into 3D panorama (not 360, of course, it's impossible).
This app is already featured on XDA main page. It was chosen to be included in top10 hottest apps on appbrain twice and few days ago we received information from Google Editors that they suggest Panoramic Screen to get featured on Google Play.
Panoramic Screen is free and you're welcome to try it. Here is how it looks:
Next time we focused on even more complicated idea. We wanted to create an application that can modify any other wallpaper and can animate something over any image picked from the gallery. Several months of coding leads us to Coloring Screen and Coloring Weather Screen applications. Coloring Screen was featured on xda and appbrain too. App allows to apply well-known photo filters and colors effects to change the entire look of any image. The full version is trying to animate current weather conditions, seasons and time of the day over ANY custom background. Although that was an extremely great idea, i can't tell we implemented it quite well. We had risen too high in India and received a very low percentage of active application installs compared to our other apps. So, i'm not actually sure if we can help it right now, but anyway we will merge Panoramic Screen with Coloring Screen into one app in the nearest future.
Our other apps you can always find on Google Play.
You're welcome to ask any questions if you want to know more about our experience.
Have a good weekend!
i once saw the review of PanoramicScreen on a blog and i tried it...very good app! Since then I have looked for information on how to create live wallpaper but with no luck
Anyway keep up the good work! ;D

What's going wrong? It seems quite simple to create basic lwp. Actually, lwp creation process is more about design, art and promotion instead of coding.
just want to drop in and say good luck in your endeavours! I absolutely loved panoramic screen as it was so simple yet customisable
Metaballs
Hi -- just thought I'd say how much I like Metaballs.

Thanks, since last update, Coloring Screen includes the same panoramic effect in addition to color and photo filters.

I don't actually think this wallpaper exists, I looked for it for a long time then noticed this on Huawei's website advertising the Porsche Mate 10
